Viva gasgas!

When I win the lotto I will buy riders for GasGas. Because I bleed red/white. And Red. And Blue. And all the other colors GasGas has been.

I'm sure those guys in the pic are checking out that smoking hot KTM. Viva GasGas!!!

The purple backgrounds add a little flair

Next will be a Beta

I wonder if GasGas is not paying the bills?

Was only a matter of time until Ktm threw enough money her way to convince her to switch...

Weird......the graphics don't have any mention of KTM.......

Strange, I never noticed til you pointed that out. I wonder how many times Dougie Lampkin has been approached? He did ride for Beta awhile back.

Lets hope the Israelis throw some money to retain and gather some talent?

The article stated she is riding a friends bike with her own team. Not sure if Ktm is sponsoring her for this?

I think the source of the many problems with GG is the govt banks controlling the finances. Spain is broke. So, essentially what you have is a mostly state owned company being run by a broke state. Explains a lot.

Someone posted another article about laia switching to her own private team, and using a friends ktm 350 but with all reference to ktm removed as she is still contracted to gasgas til Monday and can't legally race on a sponsored bike at this weekends WEC.
Infact gasgas are at the race with Laia's bike in their pit all polished and ready to go...

At the 1:38 mark of video, " Laia Sanz, she's dropped the Gas Gas for all sorts of reasons since we last saw her"
She gets the hole shot and has the inside track into turn 1, only to have the outside bike fall on her and take her down in a tangle. She's in blue jersey, orange helmet, #44.

What a rider.
